You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days.

I may just have to re-institute a 2-3 day turn around on all database requests again to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I’ve had to do it before because people refused to either plan ahead, or be honest about when they really needed things. Sad isn’t it?

I try to stay alert to online media sources, the Langa Letter, Lockergnome or even winguides.com for security updates. Let’s face it, most online sources love to tell…

    Seeing that, when you call the telephone company, they can identify the number you’re calling from, and all the trouble reports that you’ve made for that number all without the need for human intervention, why can’t they automatically close “no dial tone” trouble reports when you call from the same number you reported the trouble…
